For funds with an investment objective that include the integration of ESG criteria, there may be corporate actions or other situations that may cause the fund or index to passively hold securities that may not comply with ESG criteria. Please refer to the fund’s prospectus for more information. The screening applied by the fund's index provider may include revenue thresholds set by the index provider. The information displayed on this website may not include all of the screens that apply to the relevant index or the relevant fund. These screens are described in more detail in the fund’s prospectus, other fund documents, and the relevant index methodology document.

Carefully consider the Funds' investment objectives, risk factors, and charges and expenses before investing. This and other information can be found in the Funds' prospectuses or, if available, the summary prospectuses which may be obtained by visiting the iShares ETF and BlackRock Mutual Fund prospectus pages. Read the prospectus carefully before investing.

The fund invests a large portion of assets which are denominated in other currencies; hence changes in the relevant exchange rate will affect the value of the investment. The fund invests in fixed interest securities such as corporate or government bonds which pay a fixed or variable rate of interest (also known as the ‘coupon’) and behave similarly to a loan. These securities are therefore exposed to changes in interest rates which will affect the value of any securities held. Certain developing countries are especially large debtors to commercial banks and foreign governments. Investment in debt obligations (sovereign debt) issued or guaranteed by developing governments or their agencies involve a high degree of risk.

Please contact your financial advisor for more information.BlackRock Investment Management (UK) Limited is the UK distributor of BGIF. Most of the protections provided by the UK regulatory system, and the compensation under the Financial Services Compensation Scheme, will not be available. The BGIF range employs a swing-pricing methodology in order to protect existing investors from the dilution impact of trading costs caused by shareholder activity in the funds. Furthermore, where funds invest in securities markets that are closed for trading at the fund’s valuation point, an additional adjustment may be applied to protect investors from stale pricing and market timing speculation (a so-called fair value adjustment). The published Net Asset Value (NAV) of a fund may include such adjustments which have the potential to distort apparent performance and tracking error.Subscriptions in BGIF are valid only if made on the basis of the current Prospectus, the most recent financial reports and the Key Investor Information Document, which may not be available to investors in certain jurisdictions where the Fund in question has not been authorised.
